I think it was a Sporkful episode where he was interviewed about that and he basically said, "yeah, opening a restaurant is hard and I'd never done it before. Things were rough early in but have gotten much better."

Based on his IG posts it looks like the place is doing pretty well.

Overall, I like him a lot. His book is great and he actually explains the tests he did to develop his reasoning instead of just relying on folk knowledge.

The point is that entering into a marriage carries restrictions for both parties, that's the whole point. Women don't have to get married; they can do whatever they want on their own. But when you marry a woman and let her control your life(which includes you taking her name), you have become a little bitch. Have a little self-respect, you're pathetic

They hyphenated. They both took each other's names. I unironically think the best naming strategy is for everyone to have four names, first name, middle name, mother's name, father's name. Mother passes on mother's name always, father passes on mother's name to girls, father's name to boys. That way the names track the X and Y chromosomes which is pretty neat.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 16 21:13:03 2019 No.13378184 >>13378182 Sorry, that is they track the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA, not the X chromosome except via female children of a man where you know which X chromosome it was.

Wasn't the guy you're responding to previously, and that wasn't passive aggressive. It was overtly aggressive via sarcasm. I also didn't attack your character at all. Your argument is based around some ideal of male pride and superiority. That's fine - it just implies a fragile sense of self.

Good response. I'm not even kidding here - I hope that one day you're able to feel a little less of the burden of a social structure that's raised you to believe that any small thing is a personal affront to your pride. Keep on fighting, anon.

>burden of a social structure
what does this even mean, these are all personal beliefs
>any small thing
The argument was originally about changing your last name, which is not a small thing. It follows you around for your whole life and is the first thing people hear about you.

>these are all personal beliefs

They happen to be in line with the prevailing "muh feels" arguments around things like this. I think it's naive to assume our biases aren't heavily padded by cultural norms. That goes for me, too. I don't know, though, you may think the way you do completely independently of anything else.

>It follows you around for your whole life and is the first thing people hear about you.

First off, the context was in hyphenating a last name because that's what Kenji did. Secondly, in what world would people who are hearing your name for the first time a) know if your last name is your father's or your wife's, and b) even if they did, what people are you hanging around that would judge someone for that?

If my last name was Smith until I took my wife's name of, say, Baker, who upon hearing "Anon Baker" for the first time is aware of the change or judging me for it? You've explicitly argued from a point of pride in carrying on your own last name. I don't really have an issue with that, but I don't think that's a point of view that's exclusively male. A woman could also want the same thing. That's probably why Kenji and his wife hyphenated, and I don't see how that makes either of them less of person short of an argument based on feelings alone.
